Chapter 910 - 342: Grown Men Crying—What Does That Look Like? (Part 2)

After carefully searching his memory, Harley Yous spoke up.

"But there’s one thing. The missile you previously controlled to launch towards my organization’s old headquarters seems to have been launched from that direction."

"!"

Zhang Beixing was taken aback.

So that’s how it is!

Now it all makes sense.

The logic suddenly became clear; now both the motive and reason are apparent.

It’s precisely because he stole a missile from them previously, now they’re returning the favor.

The missile must be extremely powerful to even make him feel threatened.

He glanced thoughtfully at the ruins a few kilometers away, the location of the destroyed Simoski organization’s headquarters building.

Everything within a two-hundred-meter radius was turned to ruins, and buildings within nearly a kilometer were affected in various ways.

The missile Zhang Beixing had Guliya steal was the least powerful.

If they retaliate, they’re surely going to use one with greater power.

Thinking of this result, Zhang Beixing’s eyelids twitched involuntarily.

He needed to find Guliya again.

...

...

...

Evacuation is not an easy task.

This applies to large forces.

For a team with only a dozen people, one vehicle could quickly transport them all, without hesitation.

Zhang Beixing, being a conscientious person, took the time to tell Harley Yous to consider evacuating as well before leaving.

Although the target of the strike is still unclear, Harley Yous’s current location is highly risky. Continuing to stay might result in total destruction, leaving Harley Yous and his fellows with nowhere to escape.

At that time, these people would share the same fate as their leader and the organization’s previous top officials, with bodies not even needing to be buried, instantly wiped out.

It would be an act of coming empty-handed into the world and leaving the same way.

After confirming this news, Harley Yous was utterly devastated.

In assisting Zhang Beixing by housing Leng Bing until Zhang Beixing arrived, he gained nothing, only receiving a verbal promise from the negotiations with Zhang Beixing, with nothing else tangible.

And yet, he had to pay the price of relocating a base, which was ridiculously unfavorable.

Many items weren’t taken at the fastest possible time.

To evacuate quickly, they must travel light, discarding unnecessary items, otherwise, it becomes problematic.

Despite his frustration, Harley Yous, being the former strategist of the Simoski organization, showed decisiveness when required. Knowing he had no time to hesitate, he decided to evacuate swiftly.

With puzzled looks from his subordinates, he instructed everyone to only take personal items, leaving everything else behind, including several safes and their contents, discarded amidst everything else.

Harley Yous and his followers quickly left the building, shadowing Zhang Beixing and his group.

He only hoped that the missile wouldn’t actually hit here, and if it did, that the safes would withstand the impact.

Zhang Beixing, Guliya, Leng Bing, Makely, and of course, the stubborn Lia along with the fortune-teller Li Dongming were all in the same car.

Everyone else was in another car.

Meanwhile, Xu Feng and the Extraordinary Reserve Team Members of The Ninth Bureau drove separately with some of The Ninth Bureau’s staff in another direction.

Guliya, having upgraded her equipment, no longer remotely manipulates her home computer with a phone, but now uses equipment in this highly advanced vehicle.

The primary reason being Wu Country’s poor network conditions.

Connections there often drop.

The car’s information technology setup is sufficient for Guliya’s needs.

After infiltrating the missile base’s internal network once again, Guliya confirmed with Zhang Beixing.

"Your suspicion is correct; they’ve indeed initiated the launch sequence, and I can’t interfere now. The launch countdown has started, and it will be fired shortly."

Guliya said while pulling up the visual.

By now, the missile had entered the silo, ready to launch anytime.

Zhang Beixing watched the missile on the screen with a subtle twitch of his face.

"Amazing, these folks are truly amazing. This thing is probably three to five times larger than the one I secretly launched, isn’t it?"

Thankfully for quick reactions and swift escape, Zhang Beixing was already around ten kilometers away from the previous base, no longer directly under threat.

They were driving at high speed.

Once the missile hit the target, they would likely only experience aftershocks, having no significant impact.

Bang!!!

Just as Zhang Beixing was observing the situation.

The missile on the screen launched.

Clearly, the countdown had finished.

Zhang Beixing instructed Guliya to track the missile’s path, using satellite observation.

If Guliya was using her own equipment previously, this wouldn’t have been possible.

Due to hacking incidents, Wu Country enhanced the satellite’s security levels, making it impossible to access the visuals.

Guliya was still able to infiltrate the missile base’s info network because missiles are different from satellites.

Wu Country doesn’t own satellites; they borrow Lijian Country’s, which is significantly more advanced.

It’s not possible for Wu Country to open missile bases to Lijian Country, so even with enhanced protection, Guliya could easily exploit this vulnerability.

Now, Guliya is using Great Xia’s own satellites for observation.

Permissions in The Ninth Bureau’s temporary command vehicle rank high, making such actions unnecessary for hacking.

Zhang Beixing looked at the satellite feed, feeling slightly better.

Clearly, these fools hadn’t realized they’d already evacuated.

The missile went straight for the previous headquarters.

In less than a minute.

The missile reached the target.

Soon enough, he didn’t even need to watch the screen — a mushroom cloud rose visible from the car window.

Although not as massive as a nuclear test, the intimidation factor was strong nonetheless.

In no time, every building within a one-kilometer radius was destroyed.

Buildings stretching five kilometers faced varying degrees of impact.

"So damn ruthless, not even considering if there are other residents nearby."

Zhang Beixing shook his head repeatedly, lamenting these politicians’ viciousness.

If it were him, he couldn’t do such a thing, even if not a Great Xia person.

When Zhang Beixing previously stole a missile, he specifically chose a less powerful one to target the Simoski Organization’s headquarters, having little impact on the surroundings.

At most, vulnerable glass panes suffered due to the explosion.

No civilian lived within a few hundred meters of the Simoski headquarters.

But Harley Yous’s base was different!

After seeing the missile hit the target, Zhang Beixing checked on Xu Feng’s situation; once confirmed they were unaffected, he ended the communication.

Out of humanitarian consideration, Zhang Beixing phoned Harley Yous.

Since Harley Yous evacuated quickly, he was unharmed, albeit heartbroken over the considerable loss of assets.

"Minister Zhang, it’s because of you I ended up in this calamity!"

"You absolutely must compensate me, or I’ll cry to you!"

Zhang Beixing: "..."

My gosh, what kind of burly man, a bald head crying like this, hardly suits that hefty beard of yours, does it?
